Plans for Matilda
MATILDA House has been identified by the Urban Redevelopment
Authority (URA) as one of the buildings in the Punggol area that is
worthy of conservation. No hard and fast plans are available yet,
but the URA has realised its potential for community use or as a
clubhouse once the surrounding area is developed.
Together with the Housing Board, the URA developed plans for
Punggol (including Punggol 21) to be a waterfront town.
A URA statement said: 'We try to identify icons and structures that
have historical, architectural and identity significance, and try
to retain them for future new towns. 'So when they are developed,
they will have certain elements from the past as markers and
heritage corners.'
It has been working with other agencies to try and determine a
suitable use for Matilda House, so it can be restored to its former
glory and still be adapted to new uses.
